Jaipur : days 1 to 5

By Chloe_V

To arrive in Jaipur, we took a train but had made a reservation in a 3A coach, that means a triple bunken bed with AC. In the summer, it's a very popular class, as the sleeper class (same bed organization but without AC) is now turned into a giant toaster...

Delhi : days 4 to 6

By Chloe_V

The eighth was our last day in Delhi but we didn't leave our hostel for a faraway destination, only aiming to Noida, a city which hosts the working population of Delhi. It's so more a residential area that a touristic one but we didn't expect our hotel...

Delhi : day 3

By Chloe_V

Mosques, tombs and gardens. This surely surmised at the perfection our day. We got a fresh start in the morning made, as usual, of kellogs, toast, fruits, yogurts and tea, something we got too easily accustomed to. Stomach full, camera charged and plan...

Delhi : day 2

By Chloe_V

We started this day with some kind of a routine while we headed directly after waking up to the cafe next door to eat, or devour, our breakfast. We had slept so much better in the new room we got after complaining about the non-windows fact that we had...

Delhi : day 1

By Chloe_V

The wake up in Delhi was a bit strange. Normally, we always wake up before the phone can ring, just laying lazily in the bed while the sun light enters the room. As every now and then, we would wake up during the night, we know that the sun light means...

Agra : last day - Delhi : arrival

By Chloe_V

To conclude our (too fast) visit of Agra, we decided to spend all the morning time in a place a bit far away called Fatephur Sikri, which means the city of the victory. We met there with a very amazing guide, who decided not to take us in the fort, based...

Agra : day 1

By Chloe_V

Speaking of touristic attraction in the last article was nothing compared to the day we spent in Agra, as no trip to India would been completed without a stop at the Taj Mahal. Beautifully white and symmetrical Taj Mahal, the best thing being our hotel...

Darjeeling : day 2 and 3

By Chloe_V

The first day in West Bengal was as pleasant as the discovery of the cottage yesterday. The sun now set up (as usual we arrived by night light) did not diminish the beauty of the place we were to spend the next couple of days. It had been raining all...

Kolkata - Darjeeling

By Chloe_V

We woke up on 29th a bit stressed because we were still unsure we had a booking or not, as well as being a bit disappointed by the fact we couldn't go to Darjeeling itself. Anyway, we were cheered up by the beautiful location Joelle found in replacement....

Kolkata: day 1

By Chloe_V

Kolkata on 28 June started with a long wakeup call, seeing us to go out around 11:00 am whilst we woke up at 08:15 am. It's as if the heat weight prevented us from moving. After a breakfast in the bedroom (nice one with eggs, toasts, jam, rasgulla), a...
